ISMC 2025 in Chania: an International Scientific Meeting

From September 29 to October 3, 2025, Chania hosted the 9th International Soft Matter Conference (ISMC 2025), one of the most important international scientific gatherings in the field of soft matter. The conference took place at the impressive Minoa Palace Resort in Platanias, providing an ideal environment for scientific exchange, networking, and collaboration.

The success of a well-organized conference

The conference was organized by Diazoma, which took care of every detail—from managing registrations and the program to supporting speakers and ensuring the smooth flow of sessions. With 520 participants from over 30 countries, ISMC 2025 was a true celebration of science and human collaboration.

Poster Session and Awards

The scientific program included dozens of invited and oral presentations, as well as a Poster Session that stood out for the enthusiasm and quality of the presentations. Young researchers had the opportunity to present their work and discuss it with established scientists, and awards were given at the end of the session for the best posters.

Gala Dinner at Alkion Estate

The highlight came with the Gala Dinner, held at the beautiful Alkion Estate. Participants enjoyed an evening of Cretan cuisine, live music, traditional dances, and genuine hospitality, creating moments of joy and relaxation after a full week of scientific activity.

Geography Field Trip 2025 in Sfakia

Written by diazoma on . Posted in Conferences, Conferences in Crete.

From May 3 to 10, an educational field trip was held in Crete, with the participation of students and teachers from Lincoln. The goal of the trip was to experientially approach geographical, social and environmental issues through on-site activities.

The trip began with an arrival in Chania and included walks in the city and a visit to the Archaeological Museum, connecting the urban space with its historical background. In the following days, the participants studied natural phenomena, such as tsunami deposits on Balos beach and signs of flooding in the Ilinga gorge.

The visit to abandoned villages, such as north of Chora Sfakia, opened discussions on the risks to the built environment and human vulnerability. The program culminated with presentations and exchange of experiences, offering a valuable pedagogical experience in the field.

The trip concluded with a final stop in Falasarna and a return to the United Kingdom, leaving participants with knowledge, impressions and a deeper understanding of the place and the topics studied.
